Welcome To

Deep Heart Charity

We are a family-run, 501c3 public charity with decades of experience and an expansive reach touching tens of thousands of lives each year. Our charity works on various levels to help those who are in the most need in impoverished schools, orphanages, homes for the elderly, homeless shelters, with the disabled and those with special needs, in youth detention centers and prisons.

You might not be able to help everyone, but everyone can help someone.

“..In 42 years of directing this institution, I have never received such a beautiful gift as your work here today. For them to have dedicated all their time to bring hope and inspiration to others, is what we need in society.... A society that often leads us down the wrong path. Today we see that it is love that need to hold on to…”

Francisco N.

Director, Special Needs School

“I’m sorry, but I’m speechless. I really do not know what to say except that what you do is not ordinary. There is no category for this. That’s all I could want for my community. “

Natalie M.

City Event Coordinator, Paraguay

“Seeing your show, and hearing your words, you have rescued me from a dark place. Recently I have been planning to do the unthinkable but I don't want to anymore. I want to live and help others and do what you do. You saved my life. Thank you."

How We Help

Deep Heart Events

We perform a rehabilitating, educational, and transformative show of music, magic, comedy, theater and dance for those in need, underprivileged, or are suffering in some way. We have worked along side numerous ONG's, foundations and governments.

Visiting Orphanages

We visit orphanages in third-world nations to bring small toys and gifts, spend time with and love the children, and put on world-class events with clowns and magic, sometimes trips to amusement parks or ice skating, and other activities they would otherwise never experience.

Feeding The Poor

As often as we can we gather and prepare large amounts of food to distribute to the homeless in downtown areas and those we meet along the way. The time you spend on the streets, the more you realize they are not "homeless people" but just people who are homeless.

Personal Counseling

We maintain contact with hundreds of individuals who reach out to us in many countries through phone calls, emails, text messages, and mailing lists with personal correspondence, counsel, comfort, an mentorship in their lives.

Enabling Students

We visit countless high-schools in the worst slums of developing nations. We put on events to reach thousands of students simultaneously and help them understand how to escape drugs & violence, engage their intelligence, and develop life skills.

Magazine For Inmates

In 2020 we have begun producing and distributing a magazine created specifically for inmates. It is currently reaches 38K inmates in print and over 250k on tables at correctional facilities across the USA. We draw from more than a decade of working in hundreds of prisons to offer real-life teaching, inspiration & transformation.

Suicide Prevention

In all our work on the streets, in schools, detention centers and prisons we often talk to individuals who are searching for a reason to carry on. We work hard in all we do to infuse others with real hope, compassion, kindness, and a vision for their futures

Music Therapy

In travel to over 55 countries and working with hundreds and thousands of people from all backgrounds and walks of life we have seen the incredible power of music to cross over division and bring healing and unity in numerous situations, even in gang territory and hostile environments.

Working On The Streets

We have collect hiegenic essentials, metal blankets, and non-pershiable foods and bundled them into packets that we distribute as we travel to people who are on the streets and in need.

Working With Other Charities

We have volunteered or worked along side countless other ONG's and institutions. Including the Special Olympics, the United Nations (in Colombia), SOS Children's Homes International, countless city government and community projects & the Chilean Red Cross.

A recent letter from an inmate:

Good morning.

I know that you guys are probably on the road doing what you all do best, giving people real hope. I just wanted to let you know how things are going with me. Since watching your videos and reading your magazines, and especially after hearing from you, I have made a big change in my life in so short a time. I have been drug-free for over six months and I don’t have the urge to get high. I left all my negative vices in the past and began a journey of positiveness. The people I converse with tell me I am different. I am trying to be the type of person you all have successfully become. I feel better about myself now and I have the urge to now live. I guess you say how has your videos accomplished so much in so short a time. Well, it is simply that you all seem to really care. You all don’t do this for a paycheck, or for to glorified. We don’t have that here in the belly of the beast. So it is truly an inspiration to have normal people like you all who really do what you do because you care.

And like your name says, you all come from deep in the heart. I thank you for it and pray that I can become an inspiration for someone else because of you. Thank you for the songs you all sing in your videos, thank you for the history lessons, and thank you for the feeling of family. I wish you and all your family the greatest of blessings. Thank you. I don’t think you guys are aware of how much you touch the heart of men like myself who once thought that suicide would be my only way out. But you all made me see that I am somebody. I can make a change. I even told my mother about you all and she is so thankful that you gave me a reason to live. I truly thank you and pray that God will bless you all in the greatest way.

News Report From Our Visit To A Children's Hospital

"Dancing, music, hip hop, bubbles, and magic marked this very special Wednesday when the group "Deep Heart" brought laughter and moments of joy to the patience and family members of the Children's Hospital Of Conception.
The group, who is touring our country, has catholic roots but without promoting any religion seeks to share hope, joy, harmony, faith and family values to touch those in need through their therapeutic presentation. "I have never seen anything link this.. I think it so awesome." asserted Taylor Da Silva Nikel, who is a patient at the hospital and got to participate as a volunteer in one of the magic routines. The show captivated, inspired and motivated the patients throughout the afternoon involving all the members of the audience and creating an ambience of harmony....“

How We Fund Ourselves

We all work common jobs, sometimes two or three jobs at a time for an extended period. We save all our funds then carefully plan and use our savings to help all those we can. We are extremely frugal and stretch each dime as far as possible.

Any help we receive is greatly appreciated and goes directly to helping others. The opportunities are endless and the needs are many.

We have dedicated our lives to changing lives.

Our Team

We live in a day and age where self obsession seems to be the trend. However, we believe that one can find true fulfillment in caring for others, for the poor, elderly, homeless, orphans, prisoners, and the disabled.

Understanding

Our Show

We perform a rehabilitating, educational and transformative show of music, magic, comedy, theater and dance. Through the presentation we create a platform where we can teach, inspire and create a personal connection with the audience to offer an unforgettable, and often, life changing experience. For the past 13 years we have had breakthrough success in touching the lives of tens of thousands of through hundreds of events across many countries.

We work hard to offer a performance that is cutting-edge and high quality that both entertains, inspires and educates people from all walks of life. We design it to combat mental atrophy and bring hope, sincere love, creative inspiration, traditional values, and the love and truth of God as a Father.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.”

-Edmond Burk

Covid Lockdown Update:

During Covid so much is shut down. We are focusing our efforts on preparing for future events and have received many requests for our work as soon as restrictions are lifted. Meanwhile, we are working double time to correspond with individuals in several countries to utilized this time as much as possible.

Many are suffering in extreme isolation with no visits or activities. Some prisons are on a 24/7 cell lockdown. Imagine dealing with that for months. Others have widespread outbreaks of Coronavirus with no way to social distance or implement proper health and hygiene protocols. Tragically, for some it has become a death sentence.

We have created, published, printed, and are distributing a 28 page, full color, magazine to bring a cutting-edge appeal to inmates across America. We worked for several months to draw from our experiences over the past decade in more than 258 prisons to create content that is relevant, helpful, and a motivation to initiate lasting change, in the prison atmosphere. The magazine brings mental stimulation, education, inspiration and comfort to those who are so isolated during this time from all walks of life and backgrounds.

We have received overwhelming response from the thousands we have distributed thus far in over 120 correctional facilities from both the administrators, and inmates. There are multitudes more whom we would like to reach and send the magazines but currently resources and funds are limited. If anyone would like to or be able to help us, it would be greatly appreciate by us and all the men whom it would help.
